OK the parcel has left home! Stand by your letter boxes, it should arrive today or tommorrow.

If you can please post on this thread when the parcel gets to you so I can keep track of it, it will take a while to get round everybody but anticipation is half the fun!

Enjoy

LBB go and lie down in a dark room, you are going to explode by the time the parcel gets to you!

Good things come to he / she who waits :-)

A watched postma never delivers etc.

Ooops!!

I'm going to be on holiday from 23rd October till 1st November and don't want to hold things up while I'm away (someone will be at home but I want it to be ME that opens the package!!!!!).

Any chance of avoiding me at that time?

Oh joy of joys I received the parcel this morning!

Helen you have gone to so much trouble and there is a great selection in there. Thank you so much.

I've had a good rummage and have selected what I know I can use. I've popped my seeds in and will go to the Post Office later. The parcel will be going to The Netherlands next.

Asbean - I think the timing should be OK but can you email me nearer the time and I will try and predict where it is etc. there are easy wanys to slow things down if need be :-)

OK, I'll do that. I wouldn't want it arriving on the day I leave, then hang around till I get back - which will be late Saturday, meaning I wouldn't be able to get it in the post till the following Monday.

I'm getting concerned now as it's a week since I posted the parcel on. Ruud, has it arrived?

It took rather a long time to get to the Netherlands on one seed swop. Or maybe the pigeon drowned :D

Today a very tired pigeon arrived at my doorstep with a parcel from the otherside of the pond.Yes it arrived today,will look inside and send it on his way back.

Whew! That's a relief. Poor bird must have been battling head winds all the way!

ruud · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:34:03 »

I have put the parcel in the hands of special seals.If that was a clever solution i dont know.The next person lives in a forrest up north.

Have the seals made it back across the North Sea yet?
